Plural Nouns

Plural Nouns
by Lindsay Core
This lesson was created around the plural nouns section in Crossroads 8B.

1. Introduce students to plural nouns and the rules (add "s", add "es", change "f" to "ves", change "y" to "ies", exeptions)
2. Distribute worksheet (see below). Go around and check student work. As you're talking to each student, assign him a noun that he will place in a category when the worksheet is taken up (that way even the weaker students can participate).
3. Take up the worksheet and write the answers on the board in the correct categories.
4. Game: Battle
   1. Each student gets 8 different cards
   2. With her deck of cards face-down in her hand she "battles" with a partner. Each partner turns up one card.
   3. She says the pictures in singular and plural (child/children, sarf/scarves). If she gets both right she wins the two cards. If she makes a mistake her partner wins the cards. Next it's the partner's turn.
   4. Keep "battling" until they get through their deck.
   5. Switch partners and "battle" through the deck again.
   6. Keep going for 10 minutes. The student with the most cards in their deck wins a prize.
